Hard to believe, but four of the six games were played in the Valley last night! Maybe things will dry out some more in the coming days…

Hitter of the Day

The hitter of the day, for the 3rd time already, is Staunton’s Cole Swiger, from Bloomsburg! Cole went 4-5, with 2 runs, an RBI, a double, and a stolen base. He’s now hitting 397/433/508 with 9 stolen bases in 63 at-bats. Cole was the hitter of the day on June 10th and 15th, so I suppose it was about time he got another one…
